1727585 - Publish apilint on maven.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(GeckoView :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[[ex-Mozilla] Agi Sferro | :agi]

We cannot publish on jcenter anymore so we need to find a new home for apilint.

We've been chatting about this in the past few days.

The right solution:

• add Taskcluster integration to the repository generating this artifact - depending on the complexity of that, it may be a slower process (< 1 month of work)
• ask help from CloudOps team to upload these manually since they own the S3 infrastructure account
• we've hit this for Glean as well and since the releases were infrequent (every 2-3 weeks), I wrote https://github.com/MihaiTabara/beetmove-telemetry/ to help with that until we added automation
• we may be able to resurrect that repository and do the same for apilint, before we can find a more suited solution

CloudOps generated credentials for us, which I've added to RelEng's internal SOPS.

Sample of what the glean releases used to look like - https://github.com/mozilla/glean/releases/download/v31.1.0/glean-v31.1.0.zip.
Agi agreed to create something similar to ease the transition to use with beetmove-telemetry

Aki is taking over the Releng side on this. I believe what's next is:

• Agi to provide us a zip similar to the one from glean, so that we can try reusing the old logic
• we updated https://github.com/MihaiTabara/beetmove-telemetry/blob/master/script.py#L17 to point to apilint instead, depending on what packages we have in the final zip (I looked at some preliminary archive from agi and it's quite similar so far)
• credentials for both staging/prod are in releng sops repo (if there are issues, @jbuck/thealy can help there)
• run the script and publish

For the long-term solution, we'll think of something else but this should buy some time in H2 to fix this.

Sorry it took so long. I finally have a publishing automation set up, the archive is maven.zip at https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/gradle-apilint/releases/tag/0.5

Let me know if the archive needs any modifications!

I am partway through hacking beetmove-telemetry, and I realized I don't know what path to publish it to.

Should I create a new subdirectory under https://maven.mozilla.org/?prefix=maven2/org/mozilla/ ? Or something under geckoview/ ?

Once I get a plausible path I'll resume testing.

The artifacts should be under org/mozilla/apilint/apidoc-plugin. I think we created apilint here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1726392
